Module Selection

For detailed key electrical data, please refer to the product data 
sheet for the respective product. 

 

Ä

Only connect modules of the same type and the same power 
class.

Safety Factor

During normal operation, a module may generate a greater current 
and / or higher voltage than that determined under standardized test 
conditions. Accordingly, the values of I

SC

 and V

OC

 marked on the 

module should be multiplied by a facot of 1.25 when determining:

• 

the component voltage ratings,

• 

conductor ampacities,

• 

fuse sizes,

• 

size of controls connected to the PV output. 

Refer to Section 690-8 of the National Electrical Code for an 
additional multiplying factor of 125 percent (80 percent derating) 
which might be applicable.

 

Ä

Please follow the valid national guidelines for the installation 
of electrical systems (refer to section 690-8 of the NEC for an 
additional multiplying factor of 125 percent [80 percent derating] 
which may be applicable).

Series Connection

Connection of modules in series is only permitted up to the 
maximum system voltage as listed in the applicable data sheet.  

 

Ä

Take into account all possible operating situations and all relevant 
technical norms and regulations when designing the system. 
This will ensure that the maximum system voltage, including all 
necessary safety margins, is not exceeded. 

 

Ä

Take the voltage limit of the inverter into account when determining 
the maximum number of modules in the string.

Parallel Connection

Modules may be damaged by the occurrence of reverse currents 
(caused by module defects, ground leaks, or defective insulation).

 

Ä

Ensure that the maximum reverse current load capacity indicated 
in the data sheet is observed. 

In order to limit reverse currents that may occur, we recommend 
using the following safety options:

1)  Layout with a limited number of parallel connected strings :

Without undertaking further current blocking measures, a maximum 
of two module strings may be operated in parallel on an inverter or 
MPP tracker.

2)  Layout with string fuses :

place fuses for each string of modules at the plus and minus ends. 
Observe the maximum permitted number of strings as indicated 

in the specifications provided by the respective string fuse manu

-

facturer and the technical guidelines.

NOTE! 

When installing different product versions, the lowest minimum 
permitted reverse current load capacity applies.  

Inverters

Inverters with or without transformers may be used.

Ä

In case of varying clamping range for push and pull loads the smaller clamping range must be applied.

Ä

Maintain an interval of at least 0.39 in (10 mm) between two modules along the short side.

 

Ä

Maintain an interval of at least 0.20 in (5 mm) between two modules along the long side.

MoUNTING oPTIoN CL1

 

Ä

Ensure, that the subconstruction does not run below the junction box.

MoUNTING oPTIoN CL4

 

Ä

Ensure, that the subconstruction runs exactly below the frame, not below the laminate (module less frame).

The fastening points are located on the backside of the module frame.
